Chapter 145 Leaflet Red Sandalwood
The conflict between Chen Yongbin and the elder son was mainly because the elder son felt that the father only protected the younger son and treated him too ruthlessly.
Also being a son, the eldest son spent 7 yuan from the purchase of two pieces of land starting from 40 yuan, until laying the foundation, building the main body of the three-story floor, and then decorating the house.As a father, Chen Yongbin never gave him a penny of support.
Even after the house was built, the eldest son spent 3 yuan to buy a second-hand car over 10 years old, and his father did not help him.
If it is said that the father has no ability at all and can only rely on his son and daughter-in-law to provide for the elderly, then the eldest son and his wife have nothing to say.
But even though Chen Yongbin is 65 years old, he still does mud and water work as before.
He is a major wall builder. He has been doing it for nearly 30 years. He is getting older but he can still do it.So the old man has some savings.
In addition, the old mother, who is also in her early 60s, still goes to the first-tier coastal cities to help others as a babysitter, and only returns to her hometown once or twice a month.Work hard to save some money.
The two elders in the family have a lot of savings.
But for the matter of buying land and building a new house after "relocating the whole village" to the great plain of "Jiuji Town", the two of them only spared no effort to help the younger son, and did not give anything to the elder son.
It can be said that from the 3.5 yuan that the youngest son bought the land, to the laying of the foundation, to the construction of a small three-story building with a total of 210 square meters, and even the money for decoration, the parents paid for the youngest son.
The cost was about 25, all of which were the savings of the second elder.The younger son didn't spend a penny.
The eldest daughter-in-law occasionally complained, and Chen Yongbin explained it this way: the youngest son is not yet married, and he has to spend money every time he goes on a blind date, which is a lot of expenses.In addition, his earning ability is far less than that of his elder brother... If there is no old man in the family to help, it is estimated that he may become a widow in this life.When parents see it, how can they not be anxious?So help some younger sons more.
This matter can be regarded as a bit selfish as a parent.But it doesn't mean that the parents don't love the eldest son.
For example, the eldest son applied for an additional piece of land, which occupied the quota of his parents.The parents advised the youngest son not to care too much about his elder brother.The youngest son also said that there will not be enough room to live in the future, so he can build two more floors.I never thought about what to care about with my big brother!
Chen Yongbin had his own explanation, but his eldest son and daughter-in-law were unwilling to accept it.
It's not that they don't miss brotherhood, it's just that the youngest son who is a parent can give 25 yuan, but the eldest son doesn't give any.It's really chilling.
Even if your two elders give 10 to 8 yuan, even if the eldest son and his wife don't get as much care as their younger brother, they can feel more balanced in their hearts.
But Chen Yongbin and his wife also have their own difficulties, and they are not very easy to talk about.
Since his youngest son was 20 years old, the two couples have been looking for someone for him.I have been worrying about my youngest son's marriage for more than ten years. In the blink of an eye, my youngest son will be 33 years old, and the marriage is still fruitless.
The number of blind dates in ten years can be written into an "autobiography" with several million words.
The total amount of various expenses accumulated by the blind date is enough to save it and use it to build a one-story building.
The marriage of the youngest son has become a "heart disease" for Chen Yongbin's boss.
It was in this difficult situation that Chen Yongbin had long heard the name of the Fengshui master in this town.Taking advantage of a Chinese New Year, Yan Qianyu's "uncle" returned home, and Chen Yongbin personally invited the master to his youngest son's house to change Feng Shui and change his destiny.
It was that time that "uncle" knew the secret of the youngest son of the Chen family.
It is said to be a secret, but in fact, it is almost an undisclosed secret in "Shen Ying Village".
Among the older generation of villagers, almost everyone knows it.
It is said that Chen Yongbin's youngest son has been hospitalized for a long time since he was born.
Born with only the "lonely northern hemisphere", this extremely rare congenital defect unfortunately befalls newborns.At the same time, it is also accompanied by many diseases with high bilirubin, congenital heart disease, and clusters.I really tossed in the hospital for many months, and had surgery at a young age.
Not long after the little guy was born, the Chen family's savings were wiped out.
But in the end, the life of the youngest son was saved from the "Gate of Ghosts".
Perhaps because their youngest son has been in trouble since he was a child, the couple loves him especially.
The eldest son is like a "free range". From childhood to adulthood, he seldom even gets sick.Academic performance is also good.He is handsome, handsome and tall.Therefore, the family was poor, so he found a thin and plain-looking woman to be his wife, who was not coveted by his bride price.
The daughter-in-law married by the eldest son not only does not require a bride price, but even saves the wedding for him.The two couples went to Minzheng to get a certificate, which was considered a major event in life.
It's that simple.
It was the youngest son's turn, and he began to actively go on blind dates from the age of 20, but when he was 33, the marriage was unsuccessful.
With that posture, the whole family (including the eldest brother and sister-in-law) felt that he was going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
He is simply an "insulator" from the opposite sex.
Chen Yongbin didn't know that his youngest son had a "unilateral" hidden illness, and it was no secret among fellow villagers.
Among the girls who came to have a blind date with his youngest son, which parent doesn't pay attention to the lifelong happiness of his daughter?Of course, some relatives who know the villagers of "Shenying Village" should be asked to inquire about the situation of Chen Yongbin's youngest son.
After finding out the truth, who would still marry his daughter to his youngest son?
I feel that if I really want to covet more gifts from his family, it is for money to push my daughter into a "pit of fire".
This is the main reason why it is difficult for Chen Yongbin's youngest son to find a wife.
The second reason is that his youngest son is dull and clumsy with words.
But Chen Yongbin and his son never gave up and kept trying to find ways to complete their marriage.
Not only did they use their savings to help their youngest son on a "blind date", but the couple worked hard to make money, and they just built a three-story building for him.Even the decoration does not require the youngest son to pay for it.
Even the eldest son and daughter-in-law both secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with the old father's "partiality".But this is not enough to shake and change the attitude of Chen Yongbin and his wife.
The darkest ending for Chen Yongbin would be if his younger son really had to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Being blamed by the eldest son like this, "full of resentment", is nothing to Chen Yongbin! ! !
Yan Qianyu's "uncle" was well-known, and of course he became the object of Chen Yongbin's help.
I don't know if it's "uncle" luck?Or is the Chen family "times come and go"?
After the "uncle" pretended to be a ghost and "changed the feng shui" of the new house of the youngest son of the Chen family, the youngest son of Chen Yongbin actually had a successful blind date in the second year.
When talking about marriage, the amount of "betrothal gift" that the woman wants is a bit high, 9 yuan (it may not be a big deal in the north, but in the south, this is twice as high as the market price).
Chen Yongbin and his wife gritted their teeth and took out their small savings for their youngest son to "leave the singles" smoothly.He also asked his daughter, who was married fairly well, for help.
The daughter and son-in-law donated 5 yuan.It was not easy to get the marriage of the youngest son settled.
After this incident, Chen Yongbin also became a firm believer in "Uncle".
"Uncle" has full confidence, and promises to Liang Teng that if he wants to go to the mountain contracted by Chen Yongbin's family in "Shenying Village", it will be a trivial matter to choose more expensive trees to buy.
Liang Teng found a way to tackle Chen Yongbin in advance.
The next step for Liang Teng, who has a "strong military spirit", is to quietly go to the original village site of "Shenying Village" to check on the ground at Chen Yongbin's house. Is there a wooden house made of rosewood?
If such a wooden house really exists, it proves that this Chen Yongbin is really the Chen Yongbin who sold the dilapidated house and became rich overnight.
Once this was confirmed, Liang Teng could use all his strength to capture Chen Yongbin.
Liang Teng secretly made up his mind to set off before dawn tomorrow, dragging Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu with him, and went to the original site of the "Sacred Eagle Village" on the pretext of going to the "Sacred Eagle Village" to check if there were any precious trees.
Fortunately, it was only 50 kilometers away.
With Yan Qianyu's driving speed, it would take less than an hour to get there.
Even if it takes one and a half to two hours to go back and forth.Stay at the original village site of "Shenying Village" for another hour...
It took less than three hours to leave.As long as they act discreetly and don't alert Chen Yongbin and his "uncle", no one will know that they have completed the investigation.
At noon and dinner, I eat at Yan's house.
Liang Teng especially asked his "uncle" clearly: since the new home in "Shenying New Village" was built, Chen Yongbin lived in the home of his youngest son in the new village for more than half a month.
In his hometown, Chen Yongbin goes back once or twice a month.
Mainly because he also has a widowed elder brother who lives in his hometown.Go back and visit every month.
Although Chen Yongbin is 65 years old, he is in good health. He rides a motorcycle 50 kilometers back to his hometown every time.
Don't bother your son to pick him up.
Liang Teng was immediately relieved.It would be nice for Chen Yongbin to live here permanently in Shenying New Village.Liang Teng estimated that he would launch a "blitzkrieg" early tomorrow morning and "raid" the old site of Shenying Village. Chen Yongbin was still kept in the dark.
"Uncle" misunderstood what Liang Teng meant.
Thought he asked if Chen Yongbin was in "Shenying New Village"?Are you going to visit him in person? !
"Uncle" volunteered, saying that when Liang Teng was going to visit Chen Yongbin, he could act as a qualified introducer with him.
Liang Teng didn't say anything about his action plan, and he agreed.He also said a lot of words of thanks to "uncle".
Here Liang Teng chatted with "Uncle" very well.
On the other side, Yan Qianyu's parents began to persuade their daughter to build a house in their hometown.
They knew that their daughter had a high spirit and wanted to buy a property in the "Emperor Capital".But in the eyes of ordinary people, the housing prices in the imperial capital are already ridiculously high.
The parents felt that it would be more cost-effective for the daughter to go back to her hometown to buy a house.It's not that stressful either.
Yan Qianyu told her parents that there is no need to worry about the pressure on her to buy property in the "Emperor Capital".The eldest lady she is protecting now is the best person, and has promised to ask Naifu for a house in the "Emperor Capital" for her, and of course the employee benefits will be given to her.So now she just needs to wait patiently, the dream of owning a house in the "Emperor Capital" can be realized unconsciously.
Did you hear that there is such a good thing in the world?Is there such a generous lady?Yan Qianyu's parents were shocked.
It took a long time to come back to my senses, and I couldn't help but keep tsk-tsk praising my daughter for being lucky to have met the best young lady in the world.
Qian Yu's mother even told her daughter repeatedly: Be sure to repay her kindness.Protect the safety of the eldest lady, and prevent her from being hurt in the slightest!
Yan Qianyu naturally agreed to whatever her mother said.
When the second elder calmed down, Yan Qianyu told her mother some of her plans.
After her dream of becoming an "imperial city" came true, she would save some money and send it back to her parents, asking her elders to help her build a house in her hometown.It doesn't need to be too big, covering an area of [-] square meters is enough.
When the time comes, let's see how much money we can save.
If the funds are in place, a two-story villa will be built.If money is not enough, you can build a layer first.Anyway, after a year, she will go home and stay for about half a month at most during the Chinese New Year.
The house is too big and too high, and parents have to clean it frequently.
But my mother said, "Cleaning is nothing."Since I want to build a new house, of course I want to build it decently.
After a conversation with her youngest daughter, the mother's grief at the loss of her daughter finally improved a little.
Yan Qianyu is not usually such a talkative person.Even in front of her parents, she had never spoken so much before.
But now that the family has experienced big changes, she certainly has the obligation to calm her parents' worries.Yan Qianyu seemed to be showing off, telling her parents about the "benefits" Wu Xia had promised her that had not yet been implemented.
With Yan Qianyu's prudent behavior, he would never have acted like this before.
That night, Liang Teng and Wu Xia returned to the hotel room in the town with Yan Qianyu.
The two rooms they booked at the beginning were not in a hurry to return.
Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu lived in one room, and Liang Teng lived in one.
The hotel is considered to have the best facilities and decoration in the town, and the price is also cheap. Each room costs 24 yuan for 100 hours.
And that's the charge for the most luxurious rooms.If you choose an economical one, there are rooms available for 50 yuan per day.
Taking advantage of the three of them alone on the way back to the hotel, Liang Teng informed the two daughters of his plan to go to the "Old Village Site of Shenying Village" tomorrow for a field inspection.
Wu Xia expressed his strong support.
Seeing that Liang Teng kept looking for reasons for not wanting to leave "Jiuji Town", she guessed that he was planning to hit "Chen Yongbin".
It's just that according to Wu Xia's understanding, he wanted to "catch all the wild and precious trees in the hills contracted by the other party."
Liang Teng's appetite is far more than that. Apart from the precious trees, his biggest goal is also a "valuable" dilapidated wooden house.
Wu Xia will gradually know about these things in the future.As long as she and Yan Qianyu go to the old village site of "Shenying Village" tomorrow.There is no need to disclose too much information now.
There was nothing to say that night.
It was less than 6 o'clock the next day, and it was still pitch black.Liang Teng has already woken up naturally, and there is no need to adjust the phone alarm clock.
I went to the breakfast stall outside the hotel and bought three breakfasts.
Returning to the hotel room, he planned to knock on the door of the second daughter's room.
As a result, both Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu came out fully dressed.
He saw Liang Teng's guest room door was wide open.The two of them knocked on the door symbolically and walked in.
There is no need to knock on the door to wake up the beauty, Liang Teng secretly heaves a sigh of relief.Then he greeted them both to have breakfast while it was hot.
It's just simple food like soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried dough cakes, and meat buns.
The three were quickly swept away.
After breakfast, take all your things, close the door, and go to the parking place.
The hotels in the town don't have decent parking lots, and underground parking is even more impossible.
"Highlander" just stopped in front of the hotel gate.There is easy parking space marked there.
Turn on the car navigation, drive, and hit the road.
Speechless all the way.
Finally arrived at the old village site of "Shenying Village".
It took an hour for a mere 50 kilometers.
This took a lot longer than expected.One reason is that the road conditions are not familiar, relying entirely on navigation, and there are many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, so I dare not drive fast.
Second, to enter the old village site of "Shenying Village", you need to walk about 15 kilometers along the mountain road.
The narrowest of these mountain roads is only two meters seven or eight, and the width is less than four meters.Even though Yan Qianyu was born in the army, he was not used to driving on mountain roads.In addition, the safety of the eldest lady must be taken into account, so the driver drove even slower.
It took more than an hour to reach the destination of this trip.
Liang Teng had already received several photos of the mountain land contracted by "Chen Yongbin" from his "uncle" via WeChat.
With photos for comparison, it is impossible to find the wrong mountain.
As for the photo of "Chen Yongbin"'s wooden house, Liang Teng didn't ask "uncle" for it in order not to "startle the snake".
In fact, even if you want a picture of the wooden house, "uncle" may not have it.
After all, the photos on the top of the mountain were taken while looking at Feng Shui.It can also be regarded as "job needs".In the eyes of the master, the wooden house is not worth mentioning at all.
"Uncle" will not shoot a dilapidated wooden house that has nothing to do with work for no reason.
The dilapidated wooden house is also "unique" in the old village site of "Shenying Village".
Even if he didn't ask for the real photo from "uncle", Liang Teng was not worried that he couldn't find it.
Besides, before rebirth, I read the news that this dilapidated wooden house was actually valued at more than one billion yuan. Liang Teng had paid attention to this wooden house for a while at that time.He is envious.
Those reports were accompanied by a large number of pictures of dilapidated wooden houses, and Liang Teng was familiar with them.
Relevant memories are still in my mind.
Liang Teng couldn't believe it, he wouldn't be able to find a dilapidated wooden house in a specific location!
In fact, the wooden house of Chen Yongbin's family also considered the convenience of access when choosing a site for construction. It was impossible to choose a location that was not accessible by mountain roads.
However, since the building is a wooden house, fire and moisture-proof issues must also be considered, so it was chosen at the end of the mountain road.
It is also the highest mountain of the mountain.
Yan Qianyu drove up the mountain, unlike on flat ground, where he could stop at will.
She kept driving and drove until she reached the top of the mountain without realizing it, only to find that there was a relatively open flat area for parking.So I stopped the car here.
In line with the old saying "no coincidence, no book", Yan Qianyu's parking place, less than 50 meters to the right, stands a wooden house that looks a bit dilapidated.
That was the wooden house that Liang Teng was going to inspect carefully during this trip.
To be honest, the appearance of the wooden house is not outstanding.
It can even be said that it is very inconspicuous.
If it wasn't for authoritative experts to conduct appraisals, who would have known that this wooden house is quite valuable.It is simply a "bonanza".
When Liang Teng saw the news that this wooden house was sold to a scenic spot by the owner at a high price in his previous life, he was just a young man who had only been out of society for a few years.
I don't have much social experience, and my experience is quite shallow.After reading the news that the dilapidated wooden house was worth so much money, he was thinking: How could the wooden house worth so much money have not been stolen by thieves?
Could it be that after the owner Chen Yongbin knew the value of the wooden house, someone stayed at home to guard the Chen family all the time?
This notion of being afraid of being stolen by thieves has remained in his mind unconsciously.
Now I have seen this wooden house with an area of 230 square meters, and the appearance is a bit horrible.Because of the many times of wind, rain and sun every year, the wooden boards used as the walls of the wooden house have a gray color.Like a piece of rotten wood.
This kind of dilapidated wooden houses can be found everywhere in the settlements of ethnic minorities where logging and building houses is popular!No surprise!
Like a famous tourist city in the south, there are contiguous clusters of Miao wooden houses.
As a result, more than one-fifth of the wooden building was burned due to an accidental fire.It was big news at the time.
So, just based on the "appearance" of the dilapidated wooden house in front of you, before knowing its true value, few thieves would take such a thing seriously.
Even if someone who knew its value in advance, such as Liang Teng, really wanted to remove such a large wooden house "unknowingly", it would not be easy to do.
We must mobilize a large number of people and recruit a house demolition team to carefully dismantle the wooden house.
Because in a different place, the wooden house has to be rebuilt according to the original state and restored to its original state, so as to preserve its value to the greatest extent.
All the wood that was removed to build the house alone weighed several tons.
The most valuable ones are the beams on the roof, which are all uncut logs.These logs can be processed into a variety of furniture.
As for the wooden boards that have been cut for the walls of the wooden house, they can actually be re-polished and used as boards to make furniture.
In short, with such a large quantity and such a heavy precious wood, it is enough to carry it with a heavy truck (compared to the heavy truck’s load capacity of tens of tons, this wooden house is of course considered light. But the volume of the wood is large. It requires a huge compartment of a heavy truck to be loaded).
Therefore, to "remove" the entire wooden house, not only a large demolition team is required, but also a heavy truck is required.
Can heavy trucks enter and exit narrow mountain roads without alerting people?
It is impossible to steal the entire wooden house without anyone noticing.
Of course, it can still be done if only part of the house's wood is dismantled to destroy the permanent stolen wood.
Fortunately, Liang Teng is the only one who knows the value of this wooden house.
Otherwise the cabin is in danger.
It is now "raised in the mountains and no one knows".
No, no one is guarding the wooden house now.Two old wooden doors, with a rusty iron chain threaded through the door catch, and then locked.
The door was simply locked like that.The purpose of locking is not to be afraid of being stolen, but to prevent those broken items at home worth at most one thousand and hundreds of dollars from being stolen by thieves.
Since no one is home.After Liang Teng got out of the car, he couldn't wait to walk over to carefully inspect the material of the wooden house.
He even pressed his hand against the wooden wall, and found that it was still hard. Helpful, there was no sign of decay.
Liang Teng nodded secretly: Good wood is not easy to be corroded.
Look closely at the texture of the wood.
The texture is not very clear and obvious.
Liang Teng still has a certain understanding of sandalwood, a precious wood.Knowing that sandalwood never grows too thick, even if it is old, its original tree diameter, at most, will grow to more than 20 centimeters before it ends.
If the diameter of sandalwood grows abruptly to 40 cm to 50 cm, there will be a hollow phenomenon inside it.This kind of sandalwood cannot be processed into furniture.
Just because sandalwood is not thick, the boards cut from it, as long as they are not "finger-jointed boards", cannot be too large.
The wooden wall of the wooden house in front of me also conforms to the characteristics of sandalwood.
In addition, the most valuable species of sandalwood is "small-leaf red sandalwood".
"Small leaf red sandalwood" does not have too obvious texture.But the texture is delicate and strong. After polishing, the log has a dark purple color, which is beautiful and atmospheric, and is very popular among furniture players.
The texture of the wood used in the wooden house in front of me is not particularly obvious.This is also in line with the characteristics of "small leaf red sandalwood".
The more Liang Teng looked, the more his eyes shone.
The entire wooden house is built with "small-leaf red sandalwood" wood, which is a completely different concept than just building it with ordinary sandalwood.
The value increased several times in an instant.
